I have to keep correcting this. There’s nothing illegal (in US law) about the executive branch unilaterally attacking another country. Congress has been shifting authority over to the Executive for decades, and presidents have been doing it for the last few decades at least. (See Obama’s drone strikes)
The president is required by law to notify Congress within 90 days and request additional funding.
It’s Immoral and a tremendously bad idea to let any one person decide to kill hundreds of people, but in this case it’s not illegal.
